Yesterday we officially said goodbye to all the class of 2012 seniors at the university-wide graduation ceremonies during a rainy Tuesday here in New York.
All the seniors were really great young men, but I want to make special mention of the three 5th year seniors who truly sacrificed the most to stay with the team as long as possible.
Paul Havas, Mike Murphy and Mike Stephens were all very talented players who will be sorely missed.
They and all the seniors deserved better on the field, but they will certainly see greater successes in the years to come.
Merber Record
Another senior worth recognizing now is track star Kyle Merber who broke the American collegiate record with a blazing time in the 1,500 meters Monday evening.
Columbia's team sports have been in a dry spell, but the individual accomplishments of some of our athletes in track, tennis and golf have been impressive.
Adams Tops the List
It's fun to log on to the Dallas Cowboys roster and see Jeff Adams right there at the top of the alphabetical list!
Let's all hope Jeff manages to stay there for some time.

Kyle Merber is amazing--best in the United States and fifteenth best in the world!!!!
Jeff has an excellent opportunity with the Cowboys as they did not draft any offensive tackles and have only three veterans returning. He is competing with three other free agents. If Jeff does well in the pre-season, he could make the final roster.
I believe the university-wide commencement ceremony is today. Columbia College Class Day was on Tuesday.
